Hightower notes:"For a quarter of a century, Chevron's Texaco subsidiary crudely and willfully contaminated the land, water and people of this region with an oil extraction process so crude, careless, and deadly that it still stands as one of the world's grossest examples of corporate insensitivity."

Today, in yet another instance where Chevron has quietly tucked it’s tail between its legs and went h,ome the 5th lawsuit Chevron has brought to US federal court has been tossed out. Following last months swift rejection by the US Supreme Court, and with little fanfare, Chevron withdrew it’s claim that they had been released by the Ecuadorian government of any liability for the dumping of billions of gallons of toxic waste water and crude oil.

Chevron has long claimed that their remediation process has released them of all remaining liabilities. Well, their own decision to withdraw this claim from federal court begs the question... Does Chevron even believe the lies coming from Chevron these days?
